I still believe there is some sort of NFL rigging against the Cowboys.

Even by disinterested chance a team could not do this bad toward post season.

But this is as it has been the most valuable sport franchise in the world for at least a decade: 10 billion dollars.

No other NFL franchise comes close. But somehow in 30 years despite the NBA and MLB Confirming that money matters the cowboys cannot see results.

It’s impossible to get these results without a pro wrestling style gambit being played. They were unstoppable in the 90s but cannot get past round 1playoffs since. 30 years. It’s absurd.

The Cowboys need to fire their GM.

MLB has a "soft cap" when it comes to team salaries. Not sure about the NBA, but there seems to be some flexibility there, too. The NFL has a hard cap. The way to build and maintain your roster is entirely ruled by the tyranny of The Cap. Jerry Jones throws too much money at too few players. That's his M.O. And the Cowboys lack depth year in and year out.

Where shall we begin? Dak Prescott is no Troy Aikman and they have had no RB to compare to Emmett Smith since Smith’s departure (maybe Elliott for one season). No one near Michael Irvin’s or Jay Novacek’s level either. They are simply not that good. The playoffs always reveal a team’s weaknesses, and the playoffs have been where they have been exposed recently.

Well the Bungals lost 5 straight playoff games in a row after only going to the playoffs twice in 20 years, which they also lost. That’s 7 playoff first round wildcard losses in 30 years. Let’s see Dallas top that. Of course they finally got Burrow and Chase and things have changed a bit, but they still lost the Super Bowl and have missed the playoffs the last two years. That’s why we lovingly call them the Bungals, never met a game they couldn’t lose.
